BBGeekcast: January 27th, 2012 – Episode 171

RIM has a new CEO, and he’s talking up a storm. This calls for a podcast. Today I’m talking Thorsten Heins and his words upon ascending to the company’s top position. Plus, plenty more in the world of BlackBerry. So click on over here to hear the BBGeekcast (9 min, 2 sec) And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you won’t miss future episodes!

Highlights include:
The show actually doesn’t open with the bit on Heins. It starts with RIM’s 2012 roadmap, which is a bit less interesting than their previous ones. That’s because RIM doesn’t have much, in terms of quantity, on tap for 2012. But they do have some relatively big releases coming up. Then we’re onto Heins, who has been talking a lot about RIM. I think it’s something of a mistake to say that there doesn’t need to be change within RIM, even if that’s what he believes. But all told, he had a good first week in his position.
